Description
Description
Glia cell missing (GCM) transcription factors are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins that regulate transcription. These proteins are characterized by a 150 amino acid DNA binding region known as GCM domain. GCM transcription factors are involved in the differentiation of neuron precursor cells into glia cells. (Adapted from FBrf0157175).
